[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in downcounty MoCo and while we liked our home elementary school the middle and high schools are not acceptable to us.  Therefore we have spent more time and energy over the years than I care to think about on magnet application processes, so as to get our kids a good education.  Our kids are now in middle and high school magnets, so we are looking ahead to one more high school magnet app process for our middle-schooler, and then three college app processes.

By the time our eldest is applying to colleges next year, we will be old pros at this application-writing routine.

When I think about it, I get pretty irritated about all of the energy we have invested in strategizing, planning, etc. over the years, all in an effort to make sure our kids are in good situations, while our *one school district* peers in the western part of the county simply send their kids off to the school down the street.  It seems like all anyone ever talks about around here is DCC schools and how to work the system.

Do NOT tell me, "you pay less in taxes so therefore you get what you get."  We pay the same tax rate as the rest of MoCo, and we in the DCC deserve the same as the rest of MoCo.

So in other words your kids had to rub shoulders with Hispanics and blacks.  What a pity.[/quote]
